Sugar Mountain is NC’s largest winter resort – a great mountain for beginner and expert skiers alike – and the state’s only double black diamond slope. Have a great time while supporting WNC’s economy. You won’t regret it.

In North Carolina, we know all too well the effects of climate change. The science is crystal clear, and this EPA decision makes us less safe. I promise to do everything in my power to protect people’s health and our state’s air, water, and natural beauty from carbon pollution.

It's the Trump administration's most direct effort yet to rip out climate regulations root and branch.

Back in the 1970s, I was one of the more than 1 million first-time skiers taught at Appalachian Ski Mountain’s French-Swiss Ski College. It is great to be back. Anna and I look forward to spending the weekend enjoying NC’s winter wonderland.
